Got interested in a Marlin lever in 357 and after I found one it needed a wheel gun for companionship. In talking to the fine forum members at Marlin a fellow DW owner [ I think known as Waldopepper here] suggested look at DW . So I started my quest and found her at a local pawn yesterday. She looked awful lonely there so I brought her home.
She's a pretty blue model 15 Monson 6" half lug non vented - disassembled and cleaned her up [ except barrel - no wrench yet ] and shot her today. Functions great. Sweet smooth trigger. She does shoot high and to left. I can adjust for the left but my rear site will not drop anymore. Maybe we need a higher front ????
Anyway I'm happy with her and have gotten lots of good info from this forum already.
Thanks to all and Waldo for all the great information

finnfur,
to the 
. It is great to hear that Waldopepper referred you here. I have one DW that shoots high also and have intended to try a higher front sight as well, just have not gotten around to it yet. My rear sight is all the way down also. That is always fun to have a matching lever action to compliment your revolver or vice-versa. I have a Marlin .357 lever also and it is great fun. We need some 
of the Dan when you get time, because as you'll learn.....

I came here to look at the pic of your gun to see what height your front sight currently was... but, nothing but a big red X 🙂

I can see it now--looks like a stock height 15-2 sight. I didn't know they made anything higher than that one.

Yep $15 a pop. Its on the way. Give em the barrel length , distance shooting , current
sight height and how much shooting high and he can tell you how high to raise sight .
I had it figured out and we both came up with the same height.
Dealt with Genny Dutcher Cust serv off mgr and Keith Lawton Ops mgr at CZ. We had emails rolling all day. Best customer support/service I,ve ever dealt with. Extraordinaire.
Just FYI here is the current barrel pricing:
They are as follows...SS or blueVent Heavy barrel and shroud assemblies...2.5" $190.004" $257.006" $304.008" $374.0010" $433.00Vent Light barrel and shroud assemblies...4" $359.806" $425.608" $523.6010" $606.20Shipping is $9.00.

Yep, I have that sight height formula somewhere also--didn't know CZ/DW would make a custom height sight.

Welcome aboard, great to have you here. As you have found, the folks at CZ/DW are great to work with, if we could just get them to start building revolvers again 
.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I may be wrong but they talked like they had stock in various heights.
